Still no one knew of this. Unless the household found it out when she was not there - and they all held Mr Dombey's rooms in awe - it was as deep a secret in her breast as what had gone before it. Florence stole into those rooms at ilight
early in the morning
and at times when meals were served downstairs. And although they were in every nook the better and the brighter for her care
she entered and passed out as quietly as any sunbeam
opting that she left her light behind.

Shadowy pany attended Florence up and down the echoing house
and sat with her in the dismantled rooms. As if her life were an enchanted vision
there arose out of her solitude ministering thoughts
that made it fanciful and unreal. She imagined so often what her life would have been if her father could have loved her and she had been a favourite child
that sometimes
for the moment
she almost believed it was so
and
borne on by the current of that pensive fiction
seemed to remember how they had watched her brother in his grave together; how they had freely shared his heart beeen them; how they were united in the dear remembrance of him; how they often spoke about him yet; and her kind father
looking at her gently
told her of their mon hope and trust in God.

At other times she pictured to herself her mother yet alive. And oh the happiness of falling on her neck
and clinging to her with the love and confidence of all her soul! And oh the desolation of the solitary house again
with evening ing on
and no one there!
